9. Traditional AIM Overview

10. AIM Background • Follows ISD rules of the PADDIE model • Two versions: • AIM I: Built on NAVEDTRA 131 PPP-based Curriculum Guidelines • AIM II: Built on NAVEDTRA 130 Task Based Curriculum Guidelines

11. AIM Outputs • Printed Hardcopy Materials • PDF (“electronic paper”) • SCORM Compliant XML Files for browser-based viewing and use in electronic classrooms • Database export for use in other AIM systems

12. Maintenance/Surveillance of Current Curriculum • Manual Process • Checking Resources • Validating Objectives • Id Affected Test Items • LP/TG DP/RIA/Sheet Chgs • Results • Time Consuming • Error-prone

13. Maintenance/Surveillance of AIM Curriculum • Relational Database • Resources Linked to Tasks • Resources/Tasks Linked to Objectives • Resources/Tasks/Objectives Linked to Tests • Resources/Tasks/Objectives Linked to LP/TG • Automated • Minimize Human Error • Reduce Surveillance/Maintenance Time

14. Additional Traditional AIM Benefits • SCORM XML output for use with LMS • Browsable XML/HTML and PDF for use in the electronic classroom – tested with Elite and the Navy LMS • IETM interface capabilities for development, delivery, and surveillance • Centralized management capability via Citrix Metaframe-based Central Sites for each NETC Learning Center community, hosted at NETPDTC

15. Overview of AIM in the NETC Enterprise Training Management Framework (ETMF)

16. NETC Policy and Supporting Tools * Fully supports ILT objects and supports self-paced objects w/ other authoring tools.

17. MT Continuum Prototype Project • SSP re-engineering 30+ week training pipeline for TRIDENT SSBN Missile Techs (MTs) into blended just-enough/just-in-time ILE-conformant Instructor Led (ILT) and self-paced continuum of learning • New AIM CPM and LO Module toolsets core part of SSP’s baseline business process for this re-engineering • First major end-to-end design, development, and maintenance project that’s validating and extending CPM/LO Module business rules and data exchange mechanisms in accordance with NAVEDTRA 136/137 I/ITSEC 2010 MT Continuum White Paper I/ITSEC 2010 MT Continuum Presentation Narrated CPM-LO Module Blended Learning Video

18. AIM I-II Content Planning Module (CPM) Learning Object (LO) Module Interfaces with NETC Enterprise Training Management Framework (ETMF)

19. NETC N6/N7 ‘To Be’ Enterprise Trng Mgmt Framework

20. AIM in the N6/N7 ETM Framework

21. AIM Interface with LMS

22. AIM Interface with Self-paced Content Tools

23. AIM Interface with Self-paced Content Tools (detail)

24. AIM Interface with Assessment Engine

25. AIM Summary • History of AIM • Consistent success in past, updated over time, now extending to blended learning • Leveraging historical ROI and TOC reduction • One GOTS toolset supporting: • Traditional content development/maintenance • NAVEDTRA 130B/131B • Migration of traditional to new content standards • NAVEDTRA 136/137 • New development/support of blended learning • ILT & self-paced

26. AIM Summary(contd) Fills gaps in current Navy Training Environment: ILT toolset supporting emerging NAVEDTRA 136 standard JDTA links to learning content Future linkage between JDTA & Navy OCCSTDs Integrated JDTA-based design, development, and maintenance of both ILT and self-paced learning content Automated surveillance capability to drive down significant total ownership cost of learning content AIM toolset is filling those gaps as demonstrated by MT Continuum prototype project and NETC ETMF
